CONCORD, N.H. The Governor’s Economic Reopening Task Force recommended updated coronavirus-related guidance Thursday on performance arts venues, amusement parks and tourist trains.
Seating capacity at performance venues would allow at least 3 feet of distancing between associated groups, on the condition they wear masks. Audience members would not be able to face one another. Performers also would not be able to interact directly with the audience or go offstage unless a 3-foot distance could be maintained from audience members.

Stuck. Stuck is how many Granite State Independent Living (GSIL) consumers describe how they feel during the pandemic. Unlike many of us who may feel existentially stuck, many GSIL consumers are literally stuck at home due to increased risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19 and/or being homebound as a result of age or disability. GSIL consumers manage multiple physical and medical challenges daily in the best of times. And as we can all likely attest, these are not the best of times.

Two bills that aim to address privacy and freedom of choice concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine drew strong opposition from state health officials Monday.
HB 220, sponsored by Rep. Tim Lang, would prevent the state from requiring immunizations for communicable diseases, namely the COVID-19 shot.
Proponents of the bill argued that residents should not be excluded from state-sponsored programs or public schools for opting out of the vaccine.
“We can yell about this bill to death, and ‘what if’ this bill to death, but the bottom line is, you believe that an individual has the right to choose what they get poked with, what they’re cut open with, and that the state can never mandate or force medical procedures on an individual, or you don’t,” he said. “I believe that I have the right, and every individual in New Hampshire, has the right to make that choice.”
